Up in heaven there's something better there I'[D7]ll find rest for my [G]soul

[G]There's a better place up there in heaven

There's a better place waiting for[D7] me

There's a better [G]place because of Jesus

He's the one who went and paid the [D7]price for [G]me

I once thought I was hopeless the [C]loser that was[G] me

I didn't believe in heaven [A7]nor that Jesus died for[D7] me

Until [G]that day I found out that [C]Jesus is the [G]key

Then I asked the Lord to save my soul now [D7]there is a place for [G]me

[G]There's a better place up there in heaven

There's a better place waiting for[D7] me

There's a better [G]place because of Jesus

He's the one who went and paid the [D7]price for [G]me

There's a better place up there in heaven There's a better place waiting for me There's a better place because of Jesus He's the one who went and paid the price for me

I've never been a rich man and probably never willAs long as I live in this world I'll be a poor man stillI have no earthly treasures no silver or no goldUp in heaven there's something better there I'll find rest for my soul

There's a better place up there in heaven There's a better place waiting for me There's a better place because of Jesus He's the one who went and paid the price for me

I once thought I was hopeless the loser that was meI didn't believe in heaven nor that Jesus died for meUntil that day I found out that Jesus is the keyThen I asked the Lord to save my soul now there is a place for me

There's a better place up there in heaven There's a better place waiting for me There's a better place because of Jesus He's the one who went and paid the price for me
